An f/1.8 maximum aperture frees you to create in low-light settings, like the
cool blues of dawn or the warm oranges of an indoor event. Not only will your
photos and HD videos be brighter, your view through the camera will be brighter
for fine-tuning and manual control. An f/1.8 aperture also gives you remarkable
depth-of-field control, so you can softly blur your backgrounds and draw
attention to your subjects. The AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G features a rounded
7-blade diaphragm to enhance that effect by giving a more natural appearance to
out-of-focus elements.
